IVIOLD FOR ARTIFICIAL STONE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 649,892, dated May 15, V1900.

n Application filed March l, 1899.

'l'o frI// lr/mm 'it 71mg/ concern:

Beit known that we, WILLIAM S. L. JONES and JESSE E. JONES, citizens of the United States, residing at Dexter City, in the county of Stoddard and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inV Molds for Artificial Stone; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap- 'pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The special object of our invention is to make a monument of artificial stone, so that it shall be comparatively cheap, simple, and durable.

The invention will be first described in connection with the drawings and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of the mold which gives the monument or tombstone its desired form before it becomes hard Fig. 2, a similar View of the slabmold; Fig. 3, a det-ail view of the clamp.

E E are the sides of the mold, arranged on a bed-piece or plank F, preferably provided with the snbjacent cleats G to prevent it from warping. These sides E are held at different distances apart on the spacers D, which may Serial No. 707,377. (No model.)

vary in wid th, by the adjustable clamps II. The slab-mold showu'in Fig. 2 is made on the same principle, the parts M M being adjust able on the base N. In Fig. 3 of the drawings it will be seen that our clamps II are made of two pieces that overlap one another, one having a screw K and the other a slot L, by which a suitable nut may so clamp them together that the clamp II will be of any desired length. Each is provided with a transverse stud I at the free end to take hold upon the outside of the pieces E.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to protectvby Letters Patent, is-

The adjustable clamps H H having the end studs I I and each made of two interlapping pieces, one piece having a screw K with nut and the other provided with a slot L, combined with movable sides E E, unattached base F and the spacers D D of any suitable width as shown and described, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we aliix our signaL tures in presence of two Witnesses.
